Finally, evaluation by group and individual reflection was conducted to measure the effectiveness of the IPE program.
The result showed that Interprofessional Education Via Home Visits model should consider course design, student and teacher capacities and implementing IPE intra-curriculum via home visits provided an opportunity for nursing and pharmacy students as well as their instructors to build relationships and expand their understanding of each other’s role and responsibility. Significantly, the knowledge of one’s own role and those of other professions was applied to appropriately assess and address the health care needs of older patients with chronic diseases.
